25 : Wind Blow

Max blinked his eyes in confusion, but then, he smiled broadly.

"I don't mean you, but Jing...", He tried to explain.

"Don't ever call him idiot!!!", Peng shouted on him stopping him in mid sentence.

At first Max was confused by Peng's attitude, but after remembering his sister's words...

"So you like Jingyu?", asked Max.

Peng turned away.

"Are you... gay?", Max asked again.

Peng still didn't answer.

"How can he make boys and girls crazy about him? Even though he's uglier than me".

Peng turned his body to face Max.

"Do you have a mirror? You and Jinyu are like heaven and hell. And you dare say you are more handsome than Jingyu?", Peng replied angrily.

"Yeah, when we were in the same school, no one could match my good looks and everyone agreed".

"Hahahaha... what a funny story. Jingyu has a handsome face, good attitude, and he's very kind. Compared to you, you are nothing".

"Hey... I'm the captain in basketball and the president of the gym club. You want to see my muscles? Look at this....", Max rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles.

"See, does Jingyu have it? Huh??", asked Max confidently.

Peng turned his face away again. "He doesn't need muscles like that to look cool. His good looks are effortless. Not like you!!!".

"Really? But I still have a lot of muscle".

"Whatever!!!". Peng turned his face away again. Max leaned over to him.

"Hey...does it hurt?", Max whispered.

"What!!??". Peng answered without turning his face away.

"Hufftt, my sister should learn a little about manners".

"Huh?? I thought that trait was inherited in your family".

"Yeah... My dad used to be a boxer too and my mom also studied martial arts. You know... every time they fuss and can't find a solution, our house turns into a boxing arena. Huh... that's why I like to use my muscles to get things done" .

"So???".

"What??", asked Max confused.

"So... you think I care about your life story?".

"No. I just wanted to share a little...".

"Huh?? Don't share anything to me anymore. We're both strangers!!!!".

"Woah, you're such a grumpy bird. I'm not sure that Jingyu will like you".

"Shut up!!!".

Max took a deep breath. He completely closed his eyes, so that his eyes did not look at the man who was lying down in from of him.

Jingyu cooked the soup and Weizhou helped him tidy the table.

"Zhou, can you add a bowl and a chair?"

"Sure. So you and Max are friends now?"

"Yeah, seems like it".

Jingyu smiled. He took some soup on spoon and tasted it. He still had doubts about the taste of the soup.

"Zhou, come here".

Weizhou ran to him then Jingyu handed him a spoon.

"Taste this soup".

Weizhou tried to take the spoon from Jingyu's hand but Jingyu brushed it off.

"I'll feed you...".

Weizhou could feel that his heart had stopped beating for a few seconds. Jingyu fed Weizhou with the spoon that Jingyu had licked earlier. Its called an indirect kiss. Weizhou felt thousands of butterflies tickle his stomach.

"How does it taste?".

"Its taste good".

"Really???".

"Yeah". Weizhou nodded with a big smile on his face.

Ring...ring....ring...."

The phone rang and Jingyu ran to pick it up.

"Hello...".

"Hello Jingyu. This is Mama Xu. Is Weizhou with you?".

Jingyu glanced at Weizhou. "Yeah... sorry auntie... I forced him to come to my house".

Jingyu lied. He was afraid that if he told the truth, Mama Xu would be angry with Weizhou for playing truant.

"Jingyu. I know you saved my family twice but that doesn't mean you can take Weizhou to follow you anywhere. You should be in class now. Miss Anna is very worried about him. He has to study and practice for his band too. If you always let him followed you, I'm afraid he can't keep up with his studies in school and his band. Sorry Jingyu...".

"No Auntie. It's okay. You're right. I'll ask him to come back to class after he has lunch".

"Lunch? Where?".

"In my house".

"Oh, but I made a bento for him. Please tell him to just eat that bento. I don't want him to eat unhealthy food".

Jingyu felt bitter hearing that.

"Yeah, of course".

"Thank you, Jingyu. Bye...".

"Bye...".

Jingyu put the phone back down.

"Who's calling, Jingyu?" Weizhou came over with a large bowl of soup.

Jingyu accepted the bowl and placed it on the table.

"Zhou, you can go back to school now".

"What? But I haven't had lunch yet".

"You brought your bento right?"

"Yeah... but...".

"Zhou, your Mama doesn't want you to eat unhealthy food and you know that my house is an old house full of rats and cockroaches."

"What? Did that call was from my mom?"

"What she said is true".

"Jingyu..."

"Please go. I don't want to cause trouble for you".

"What problem? Then, I'll stay here".

"Zhou...".

"I do not care!!!".

"Zhou...".

"Jingyu.... My mom shouldn't have said that...".

"Zhou, go."

"Jingyu!!"

"Zhou!!! I don't want to argue with you. Go back to school now!!!". Jingyu shouted on Weizhou's face. Weizhou was shocked. He took his bag and left Jingyu's house. Jingyu clenched his fists. He was angry with Weizhou's mom, but he know that he shouldn't be angry with someone who means so much to Weizhou.
